ACEMAGIC, a Shenzhen, China-based consumer electronics manufacturer with a wide portfolio of products across the laptop, mobile phone, desktop PC, tablet, and accessory spaces, has announced its latest high-powered mini PC titled the 'ACEMAGIC F2A.'
The F2A boasts a power Intel Arc Ultra 358H processor combined with Intel's flagship integrated GPU, the Intel Arc B390, to deliver excellent computing performance across a variety of workloads. For consumers more interested in AI performance, though, the F2A also features a 122 TOP NPU, which, when combined with the CPU and GPU, result in a stellar 180 TOPS in an ultra-compact frame.
To dive more into the frame, the F2A measures only 128 x 128 x 37mm, meaning it is small enough to fit in a palm, and takes up next to no desk space. It can also be mounted onto a desk or monitor to save even more space. Despite its compact frame, it also features Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual 2.5GBps LAN while not even compromising on i/o. The F2A's interface options include a full suite of HDMI, DisplayPort, USB4 Type-C, and USB Type-A ports.
While the ACEMAGIC F2A is primarily built around Windows 11, it also supports the install of Linux operating systems, meaning it has wide applications for enthusiasts and developers, and can even be turned into a personal server.
The ACEMAGIC F2A is available now for purchase directly from ACEMAGIC and through various third-party retailers at an MSRP of $1,099 USD.
